Minutes:
The Committee noted that the correspondence from the Welsh
Government doesn’t address the call for there to be a duty to notify individuals
of their right to access their files once they turn 18. The Committee agreed to
write back to the Minister to ask how the Welsh Government can ensure each
young person is informed of this right and what can be done to raise awareness.
